Plants are amazon swords, vallis natans, anubius nana, nomaphilia stricta and echinodorus tenellus. Fish: 3 ancistrus, 2 scissortail rasbora and 2 sparkling gouramis, Kuhli loaches to come soon...and tetras.

I can see a couple problems coming, though:

Ancistrus = 5" fish, heavy waste producers, can become territorial amongst themselves.

Scissortails = 5" fish, very active, should be kept in schools.

Other than these two issues, I agree with Mike: Good job!
